One of the best ways to make the most of your Monday is with a good laugh, and some people might just argue that the show Friends is the best place to find one.
The series, which ran from 1994 to 2004, featured a group of six buddies living in New York City. It sounds like a cliché, but it turned out to be so much more. The show still has die-hard fans today, even though it hasn’t aired a new episode in a decade.
The good news for you is that the cast and characters’ funny lines and bits can help you when you need a minute to re-focus. Did you know that laughing can do a lot to improve your workday? It can improve your work environment, improve your creativity and even cut through tension if you and a co-worker are disagreeing on something.
